(41) 3—Total fixed matter te FZ, 11-1133 
Chlorine... 346-12 49447 
Remarks.—The total fixed matter consists mainly of chloride 
of sodium, with lesser quantities of lime, magnesia, potash, etc., 
combined with chlorine, sulphuric and carbonic acids. The 
quantity sent of each was rather small, but enough has been done 
toshow that the samples are unfit for human consumption or 
irrigation purposes, and not by any means desirable waters to be 
used for stock. 
(42.) Wilcannia.—Water from a bore put down in a trial shaft 
seventeen miles from Wilcannia. 
Analysis of total solids—

Chloride of Sodium 297-266 4:2467 
Chloride of Potassium... 183:558 2°6234 
Chloride of Magnesium 36°672 5239 
Chloride of Ammonium ig "185 ‘0026 
Sulphate of Lime 63:021 9003 
Sulphate of Magaesia ... 53-247 ‘7606 
Carbonate of Lime 2 AS 3009 
Carbonate of Magnesia 13-981 WSS 
Total solids ... 669-349 9-5631 
Remarks.— Water turbid, due to fine clay held in suspension. 
On standing for twenty-four hours the whole of the suspended 
matter settled, the analysis eing conducted on the clear water, 
which was filtered before use. No silica, alumina, or oxide of 
iron were detected in this water. A faint reaction was given for 
nitrates. Zinc was detected, the amount present being 1-067
